Photo locations in and around Berlin: Street photography

Alexanderplatz

The “Alex” to locals, this square has variously been a cattle market, a military parade ground, and is now, together with the surrounding area, a huge pedestrian-shopping-zone and the most visited in the whole of Berlin.

The “Fersehturm”, the TV-Tower, the second tallest building in the EU, the World Clock, trams, a main rail station, regular festivals, an abundance of street performers, thousands of pedestrians, there’s something for everyone here, a street photographers delight.

Bergmannstraße

With it’s boutiques, bars, cafes, restaurants alongside well established second-hand shops, the hustle and bustle of a lively street atmosphere, the „bunteste Straße Berlins“ (Berlin’s most colourful street) as it is sometimes now known, is architecturally very interesting with its many restored facades and protected buildings from the Gründerzeit, a 19th century historical style.

Breitscheidplatz

Situated between the Ku’damm and Budepester Straße, the area offers not only the Breitscheidplatz itself, but also the main shopping district of the old West-Berlin, the Bahnhof Zoo and a short distance away the Tiergarten.

Kottbusser Tor

The Oranienstraße, one of Berlin’s most colourful shopping streets, is located here, the area is famously lively offering a range of independent shops and bars only rivalled by the Bergmannstraße a short distance away also in Kreuzberg.

Reichstag und Spree

RAW Gelände

A jumble of derelict buildings, it’s one of the last subculture hotspots left in Berlin, full of unpaved walkways, graffiti festooned buildings, ruins, bars, street food, flea-market, art gallery and even a rock climbing facility, for anyone into street photography, this location offers a superb backdrop.
